I need a diesel :dapprove:

 

[Jamie]

Didn't you decat it the other day? If you needed fuel consumption why fit that mod and not just sell it?

 

[jesus]

I fitted it and then decided. I'm not bothered if it stays or goes because I love it, but if it goes I can move onto something new and hopefully better on fuel haha.

 

[mikey123]

What MPG is this getting? I thoght they would have been quite reasonable.

 

[jesus]

Under 30. Noisy exhaust doesn't help, makes me a bit 'right-foot happy' aha. If driven sensibly, it'll be around 35 or more.

 

[172Ben]

35mpg

WTF u winging at? Thats mint!

 

[jesus]

A quicker diesel will do twice that all day long!

 

[172Ben]

you're doing twice what i do

 

[jesus]

It's costing me £10 a day just to get to work and back though. If I worked closer, I'd keep it.

 

[brisa4984]

^ ouch

 

[172Ben]

£10 a day, you must be doing some mileage!

 

[jesus]

About 10 miles each way. I'm trying to get a transfer to a closer office so I can keep Blobby!

 

[Curtis!]

Doesn't make sense?

10 miles each way, give or take afew miles..

Say 23 miles round trip?

£10 petrol, at a very high rate, £1.40 a litre x4 = £5.60 a gallon. £10 / £5.60 = Roughly 1.80 gallons/7 litres to your £10.

£10 lasts 23 miles. If i'm right, 23 / 1.80 = 13mpg? from a thirsty 135bhp non turbo Scoob?

Is it seriously that bad?

 

[172Ben]

25mpg should get you around 43 miles for £10 - thats at £1.20 per litre

 

[latza]

hell be nipping here and there shops etc as well thow on top of work id imagine,

 

[Curtis!]

Is that what you get from the Clio Ben?

 

[172Ben]

This is the last time i worked it out -

Filled up on the 2nd of november with 79683, 44.64 litres @ £1.12pl = £50(Nearly)

Just run out with 79922 on the clock,meaning 239 miles to a tank = 24.3mpg

 

[Curtis!]

This is messing with my brain now, it's too late for this!

So I get 280 from a tank. 280 / ~45 litres = 6.2 miles a litre x 4 = 24.8 mpg?

 

[172Ben]

how much is the fuel you put in?

 

[Da]

280 from a tank in a 1.2 is shite. I used to get close to 400 in mine!

 

[Curtis!]

how much is the fuel you put in?

Around £1.20 last time I put some in acouple weeks ago in Scotland? Seems to be ever changing though here.

I got 480 or so on a 5 hour motorway drive iirc. I live stupidly close to work/college though so it only really goes out on long drives when I go for a good run. I only really have to do ~15 miles a week if I only went work/gym.

 

[172Ben]

That would be 28mpg.

For 480 miles that would be 48mpg

 

[Curtis!]

28 Bloody hell mights aswell own a 197...

Cheers Ben.

 

[Hutchie]

its ok i used to get 23 in my 1.2
